Manzanita
I'm researching the idea of starting yet another business -- yes, "at my age."
We have tons of manzanita. Lots of it broke during the snowstorm, and even more needs to be removed before fire season. I've just about decided to sell some and craft some to sell. Instead of learning everything the hard way, I thought I'd post here and see if any of you have ever worked with it. My first question is how to preserve the beautiful red streaks.

Re: Manzanita
CN, The only work I have done with manzanita is to spray paint with silver or gold and hang, stick the base in plaster of Paris, decorate with small Christmas ornaments.
Like, 50 years ago!
I wonder if clear lacquer would preserve the natural color. Larger trunks may be wanted by wood crafters.
